Lonni $18 per hour for 1 child

I am an Early Childhood Educator with over twenty years of experience caring for and educating young children. I hold a Bachelors in Early Childhood Education with a minor concentration in Infants and Toddlers, as well as a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction. I am currently a classroom preschool teacher in Baltimore City. I have experience with infants and toddlers, including twins. In addition to teaching, I’ve also owned my own registered home day care, and nannied for multiple families. I believe children are competent and capable and learn best through play and hands on activities. I am a responsive caregiver with an extensive background in social emotional learning. I enjoy gardening, hiking, camping, crafts and reading in my spare time. I have two cats and feel comfortable with dogs and other small pets.

Morgan $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi I'm Morgan! I'm 24 years old and just graduated from nursing school. I'll be studying this summer to take the licensure exam but I'm hoping to babysit while I do so. I come from a big family of seven and have always enjoyed being around kids. I worked in a child care center and a sitter in high school, and also volunteered for a year at Dell Children's Medical Center. I have babysat for families since I was 16 with their ages ranging from newborns to school-aged. I've decided to get into sitting again because of the flexibility it provides for my schedule, and I'm hoping I can be of service to yours as well.

Laura $25 per hour for 1 child

I have worked with children and youth since high school. I had the desire to work with children and youth as an adult however I haven’t had the chance to really balance that with school and work. Now that I am older and have more availability I want to pursue my passion with working with children and youth. I have a degree in family and humanities and I am a veteran. Over the years I’ve always wanted to pursue having a daycare center or a family based childcare. I still have that passion so I am looking to build a trusted and useful community for those who need my services. I am looking to provide support to families who do not work the traditional 9 to 5 working hours. My services is available for those who work non-traditional hours. The evening/overnight shift and those who work various changing work schedules. I received my experience with working with children and youth through internships, community engagements, and helping family and friend when they need a babysitter. I am willing to experience more hands on opportunities with you and your family. I believe that my passion for working with children of all ages will get me the experience I need to run a successful business. Please feel free to contact me. Excited to work with you.
